VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 29, 2015 / Gener8 Media Corp. (CSE: GNR) ("Gener8" or the "Company") is thrilled to announce that 300: Rise of an Empire has won the prestigious International 3D & Advanced Imaging Society award for "Outstanding Use of 2D to 3D Conversion."
The Company received this honor last night at the Society's sixth annual Creative Arts Awards ceremony. Produced by Warner Bros., 300: Rise of an Empire was entirely converted by Gener8 using its unique 2D-to-3D conversion technology.
"Visually, this film has been celebrated for its stylistic use of volumetric light, particulate effects and the franchise's signature blood splatters," said Paul Becker, Gener8 Executive Producer. "The exciting part about working on 300 was making the intense atmospherics and environments feel alive and organic. We were fortunate to have an amazing collaborative relationship with the filmmakers, who wanted to see something special and different. We were also extremely lucky to have a great cooperative experience with Scanline VFX and MPC, enabling us to push the envelope on VFX integration in 3D."
